Guideles for PR update

I will outline below the matters that I was particularly concerned about.

• For those holding a “3-year” visa until March 31, 2027, they will be treated as having “the maximum period of stay” and may apply for PR.

In other words, I believe that after April 1, 2027, only holders of five-year visas will be able to apply for PR.

• No mention of Japanese language requirements, but this could change soon.

• Special provisions utilizing the point system will also remain in effect.
